Kill 'Em and Leave: Searching for James Brown and the American Soul by James McBride
2.0
4 stars for the story of James Brown.
2 stars for James McBride’s telling of his story from his point of view. McBride was definitely not in the mood to objectively tell a story when he wrote this book and it shows.
I’ve read other McBride books and I kept asking myself if it was actually the same author.
“He was a lonesome as a Hong Kong bartender on a Sunday night” was one of the unnecessary descriptions he used.
I did finish it but I wouldn’t recommend it.
